I love your art and found this post most facinating. I am unable to shut off the chatter in my head and meditate also, but now I realize that’s what happens when I get lost in an art project. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thank you Lois! Sometimes I think the reason why I make art is to have some time when I’m fully in the flow so that I might know what I’m looking for in the rest of my life!

Thank you SO much for posting this! I find drawing incredibly meditative, and have found myself getting lost for hours while drawing, only realizing the time that has passed when the sun has come up.

I love that you have shown how your sketches progress. Just a tiny insight into your creative process. I learn something from you every time I read your blog. Our styles and mediums are so different, but your work opens my eyes to so many possibilities, and always leaves me inspired. Thank you for so generously sharing your gift with the world.
Shannon

Your comment makes me so happy, Shannon! I’m glad that what I share is interesting to artists in many media, and I find myself doing the same thing when I look for community. I connect more with another artist’s outlook thank with their medium…
